Styling Allison Dunavant

Photography: Kristia Knowles and Doug Brooks.  Lighting: Carl Miller. Model: Allison Dunavant. Wardrobe: Se Moi. Hair and Makeup: Deme Fourtounis. Videography: Kenneth Quiller II 

Without question, this is one of my favorite shoots ever.  It was an all star weekend jammed packed with models, clothes, make up, accessories, flashing lights, flying clothes, laughter and creativity just pouring from everyone on set. When I look at these pictures of model Allison Dunavant, the first thing always on the tip of my brain is Those Eyes.  She reminds me of Jodie Foster in Taxi Driver.  Is it just me?  See it all go down here.  Gaaahh! Those eyes!!

Photo Enthusiasts, Allow Me To Introduce...

Whether you are an seasoned professional photographer or you're interested in picking up a new hobby in photography, SparkPoint Studio is an awesome new space I had to share! We all know that even some of the best laid plans can go awry or change at the last minute. That is what happened for me and my team prior to a recent photo shoot.  The photographer and I had a unique story board laid out when we learned the needs for the project required studio only photographs!  The photographer was driving in from out of town, so I hopped on the phone immediately and started calling every photographer and their brother I knew, in search an available studio.  That is when I was referred to one of the owners of SparkPoint Studio, veteran photographer, Kate Weaver.  Long story short, SparkPoint Studio totally saved the day!

In a nutshell, Sparkpoint Studio "is where photo enthusiasts come together to work and learn, to discover and experience, to create, and exhibit and become members of a unique community in Charlotte".  Click here for information on renting the studio for commerical or personal needs.
